Dubai’s first dedicated SME Banking centre
In 2007, we opened Dubai’s first dedicated SME Banking centre, in Jebel Ali. This centre is part of the next phase of the Group’s strategy to further grow and develop the SME market segment. It will build on our established presence in the region and ensure our customers have access to the right advice from the right people.
Strengthening our pole position in India
We strengthened our position as the largest international bank in India by being the first to open full-service branches in Siliguri and Jalgaon. Both these branches are an integral part of Standard Chartered’s strategy to continue to reach out to new Wealth Management and SME customers in regional centres. We now have 83 branches across 33 cities in India.
New Shared Services Centre in China
We opened our first Shared Services Centre in Tianjin. This centre will solidify the foundations of Standard Chartered’s back office operations and enhance the efficiency of our services. It is also reflective of our commitment to China where the number of outlets rose by 17 in 2007 to a total of 38. This includes 13 branches, 23 sub-branches and two representative offices in the country.
